GAINS 6 POUNDS IN 5 DAYS Editor of Clayton Argus Builds Up Weight and Enters Navy. After gaining five pounds in five days, E. J. Melton, editor of ine Clayton Argus, was “accepted as a naval recruit yesterday. He had ap- plied five days earlier and was told that for his height of 5 feet 11 inches his weight of 140 pounds was five pounds too light. He drank four quarts of milk 2 day and ate eggs, potatoes and oth- er fattening foods, with the result that when he returned to the re- cruiting office yesterday he was heavy enough. ‘He is 25 years: old. WARNS GARAGE MEN OF GAS f Safety Council Calls Attention to Deadly Exhaust Fumes. The National Safety Council has issued a bulletin warning garage workers and motorists against ex- haust fumes, Nat Wills, a noted comedian, lost his life in this man- ner since the bulletin came out. It points out that carbon monox- ide, a poisonous gas fume, is odor- less and colorless and therefore there should be plenty of ventila- tion when an engine is running in a building. James Walters, a shoe dealer, of 2527. Newhouse avenue, told the po- lice. that a. deaf mute with a re- volver held him up in his store last night and took $9.50. The robber made known the pur- pose of his visit with motions of the hands, Walters said, punich “spoke plainer than words.“ His cheeks were blackened in disguise. Sultan ee Turkey Reported III. GENEVA. Dec. 12.—Dispatches here by way of Vienna re- vieted of forgery Louis. } Not Yet Tried. a Paul O. Sommer, 32 years old, of $938 Hartford street, former presi dent of the St. Louis branch of the German-American Alliance, was con- in Judge Davis’ court today. The jury fixed the pen- alty at two years in the penitentiary. Sommer was accused of embezzle- ment and forgery as secretary of the Holman Paper Box Co, The specific chargé on which he was tried was the forging and diversion to his own use ‘| of a check for $326.73 signed by John B. Holman president of the box com- pany and made payable to the Brad- ner-Smith Co. of Chicago. | Soon after the verdict was re- turned, Charles F. Krone, attorney for Sommer, filed a motion for a new trial. The State introduced evidence and expert handwriting testimony to show that after the check payable to the Bradner-Smith Co. had been signed by Holman it was deposited in bank by Sommer to the credit of his private account and a forged imi- tation of it was mailed to the Chi- cago concern. One point tbrought out was that a bogus indorsement written on the back of the genuine check made it. seem to have been written by “W. T. Bradner,” treas- urer of the Bradner-Smith Co.“ An emiploye of the company testified there was no such person and there had been no Bradner connected with the company in the last 50 years. One charge of embezzlement and three other charges of forgery against Sommer were not included in this trial. AMERICANS WITH GEN.

AGENTS Cox Orders Trainloads of Fuel to Be Sent Where It Is Most Se- N riously Needed. COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 12.-——Gov. James M. Cox went over the heads of Federal fuel administration officials today and has taken the Ohio coal shortage in his own hands. The first move was to order solid trainloads of coal assembled and sent immediately to points in the State most seriously in need of fuel. The order is con- trary to instructions of F. C.

The greatest reduction will be th the amount of barley now used in the manufacture of beer, the chemists say. In the St: Louts district alone more than 740,000 bushéls of barley will be saved in a one-year period, while the reduction in corn and rice together will amount to only 250,000 bushels. In the United States the total 15,000,000 bushels; corn, 4,500,000 bushels, and rice, 630,000 bushels. To Be Different in Taste. Beer made in conformity with the new regulations will be different in taste, the chemists said, although no change would be apparent in color. That this difference presented a problem to brewers was the opinion of August A. Busch, president of the Anheuser-Busch company. “We cannot tell just how the pub- | © lic said ill take the change in taste,“ he o a Post-Dispatch reporter. It may be that it will be readily accept - ed, aa bat m falling off in consumption is a possibility that must be con- sidered. “Although much stress is laid | upon that part of the President's or- der calling for a reduction in the al- coholic content of beer, a close an- alysis of the proclamation reveals it to be only in proportion to the re- ductions in other contents. In other words, only 70 per cent of the quan- tities of grain heretofore used will be permitted, and only 70 per cent of the alcoholic content heretofore al- lowed will be permitted. Otto F. Stifel, president of the Union Brewing Co., said to a Post- Dispatch reporter that he believed | the percentage of alcohol in beer had been placed too low by the new presidential order, fixing this | percentage by weight at 2%, or about | 3 per cent by volume. The standard percentage of alcohol in beer has | been 3% to 4, by volume. _LONDON, Dec. 12.—While re- ports persist that- the Germans are massing troops on the western front | 80 that any offensive is in ‘prepara~ tion.

It seems hardly fair to the public to substitute more water for the nutri- tive cereal elements which now enter into beer, while the price and the tax remain, as they undoubtedly will re- main, the same. “I do not think the expected sav- ing of food products will be brought about, but the food value of beer will be decreased. As for lessening the intoxicating characte r of the drink, 1 hold that ordinary beer now has very much the same elements as milk, and that it is primarily nurtri- ment, and not an intoxicant.” Help Italian Defense.

The rush of registered men to en- list in the army made yesterday the busiest day in the history of Jeffer- son Barracks. Col. C. H. Murray, the commandant, said the post re- ceived. during the day 1599 recruits, nearly 400 more than on any one day before. Voluntary 1 is now at its height because of the new classifica- tion rules for the draft and the fact that after Saturday registered men will not be free to enlist in whatever branch of the service they choose. Recruits from Missouri and Illinois and several other states are wnt to Jefferson Barracks. 3 Col. Murray said he expected a large number of recruits dafly until Saturday. The barracks has room and equipment for all that come, he said. Twelve recruits who came in last night with a party of 326 from St. Paul and Minneapolis spent the night at the Municipal Lodging House. Their train was several hours late, arriving at 1:30 a. m., too late to proceed to Jefferson Barracks. Joe Taylor, a speaker for the British Recruiting Mission, found lodging for all except 12 at downtown hotels and lodging houses, and the police gave him permission go send the remain- der to the Municipal Lodging House. After breakfast this morning the 320 men were sent to Jefferson Barracks. on he Announcement was made at the army recruiting station, Third and Olive streets, that men who expect to avail themselves of the privilege of voluntarily enlisting before the re- strictions on registered men go into effect must appear at the recruiting office not later than 4 p. m. tomor- row. It was pointed out that as the whole routine of enlistment, includ- ing final acceptance at Jefferson Bar- racks, must be completed by noon Saturday, it will be necessary to stop receiving new applications at the hour designated. Under the regulations issued by the Provost Marshal-General, registered men who come within the current quotas will not be permitt to en- list in any branch of the service aft- er Saturday. The navy will be open only to those who obtain certificates from their local boards showing they are so far down on the list as not to come within the current quota, Un- der the new fegulation, registered men may enter the army by waiving deferred @lassification and asking to be sent to camp, whereupon they will be sent to the national army subject to the same regulations as apply to other drafted men. Men who go vol- untarlly will not be counted toward the quota of their district. Recruiting Is Brisk. Recruiting in St. Louis continued spirited yesterday. The army en- rolled 134 men, making a total of 820 enlistments since Dec. 1. The navy received 130, making a total of 743 who have been accepted for that branch since Dec. 1 in the campaign for 1260.

One day my man soared off into culinary faricies and curried a Maconochie. I have never quite forgiven him for this; I am nearly right again now. These two soldier servants never had to leave the trench. It was their job to try and find something to make à fire with, afid to do all they could to keep the water out of our dugout, a task which not one of us succeeded in doing. My plan for sustaining life under these conditions was to change my boots as often as possible. If there wasn’t time for this I used to try and boil the water in my boot by keeping my feet to the i fire bucket. I always put my puttees on first and then a pair of thick socks, and finally a pair of boots. I could, by this means, hurriedly slip off the sodden pair of boots and socks and slip on another set which had become fairly dry by the fire. We lived perpetually damp, if not thoroughly wet. My puttees, which I rarely removed, were mare like long rolis of the consistency of ugat than anything else, thanks to the mud.

After what seems an interminable wait, we hear a clinking, of mess tins and rattling of equipment, the sloshing of feet in the mud, and much whispered profanity, which ali goes to announce to you that they're here!” Then you know that the other battalion has arrived, and are now about to take over these pre- cious slots in the ground. When the exchange is complete, we are free to go!—to go out for our few days in billets!“ The actual going out and getting clear of the trenches takes a long time.

The Secretary's statement follows: “The Secretary of War announced today that all general officers of the regular army and the national guard are delng examined by\ medica: boards and efficiency boards, with the view of determining the advis- ability of sending them for service abroad. “The conditions of foreign service in this war are unusual severe, re- auiring that general officers shall be not only adequately grounded in itary science and adequately alert hysically to acquire rapidly the les- sons which the new form of warfare requires, but able to endure pro- longed hardships. “The determinations of these boards are impersona] and in the in- terest of the success of our armies and the welfare both of leaders and men, will be affirmed by the depart- ment. This policy will no doubt commend itself to the people of the country as being in the public in- terest, and even where it is necessary to deny the opportunity for foreign service to soldiers of long experience it will be understood to imply noth- ing in any way. prejudicial to the offi- cers involved. “Boards of this kind have already found some general officers of both the regular army and the national guard physically disqualified. Such findings do not in any way reflect upon the past success of the officer or upon his present zeal and willing- ness'to make personal sacrifices in the further service of his country, but the question to be determined is one of capacity to perform a highly specialized and arduous type of serv- The general officers of the national guard were taken into the Federal service with their state units with- out examination as to their profes- sional qualifications. Some of them had service on the border during the guard mobilization and all of them have been under observation since the guard was called into a into his confidence, but he sérvice for the war. Most of the present regular army | officers are men of lower rank, Who have been given general officers’ commissions for the duration of the war only. They were selected, so far as the line officers are concerned, by the same préé@éss' which is followed with the nomination of men to per- manent commissions in general grades of the army. By this process it has been the rule that seniority was followed, unless the records o as officer forbade this promotion. The new order undoubtedly | will eliminate a very considerable num- ber of general officers even of the grade of Major-General. It is under- stood that no step will be taken toward the appointment of Lieuten- ant-Generals as corps commanders untilthe War Department is satisfied with the result of its weeding out proces among the Major and Briga- dier-Generals. Secretary Baker’s statement car- ries a warning that no appeals from the boards will be considered. The dead wood is to be cut out with a firm hand, it is said, and with reli- ance upon the best judgment of the officers constituting the boards. Brigadier-General Arthur B. Don- nelly of St. Louis, commanding a brigade of Missouri and Kansas na- tional guardsmen at Camp Doniphan, Ok., is here for examination. Briga- dier-General Harvey C.

Lecturer at Women’s Club Points Can't Civilize a Flat.“ If you go to bed fagged out and nervous, it may be because your wall paper is not the same color as your soul. This possibility was explained | yesterday afternoon in à lecture at the St. Louis Woman's Club by Henry J. Davison, an interior decorator’ of New York, who is said to have de- signed and decorated what is consid- ered the most beautiful room in the United States. His subject was, Wat is the Matter With My House,” and the lecture was for the benefit. of the Navy Recruiting Campaign and Free Wool Fund. The lecturer declared that the bard was right when he said that “two gas logs and a cat can't civilize a flat.“ He advised his hearers to visit the homes ‘of their friends for 100 days before buying furnishings for a home. Interior decoration is the psychol- ogy of color,” he exclaimed. Suc- cessful decorating is knowing how people will react to their surround- ings. The crime of American wom- en is that they consider their homes a place of amusement, a museum or a grand opportunity to shop. „Like Portrait Painting. “Decoration is portrait painting, and no two rooms, really decorated, can be alike, any more than two women are alike. Men spend half to three-fourths of their lives in their offices, yet any old thing is good enough for them. Green walls—and such a green—na- ture never saw anything like it,“ he wailed. “Some big men know better than this. Morgan and Harriman had their offices decorated as care- fully as their homes. “Home,” he continued, is either an exhaust pump or a storage bat- tery station. You either are re- freshed and rested by it, or it takes something out of you. I consider all the five senses when I decorate a room. I try to live over the life of my client for a day, and then put it in the room.“ Effect of Color on the Mind. Davison asserted that the effect of color on the mind was unquestioned, and pointed out that the colors red, white and blue were used in virtual- bolize the same virtues. “Can you imagine Mr. Roosevelt in baby blue?” he asked. “Why no; of course his color is red. Red is explosiveness, fire, heat, danger. No more could you imagine Mr. Taft's color as red. Yellow means warmth, cheerfulness, amiability, but not heat. “I do not know President Wiison’s temperament’ so well, but I believe it is blue. Blue is for ice, high ideals, repression, the unfleshly. I believe Mr. Wilson would give the world to sit right down and take the can’t do it, because it isn’t his tem- ly all the flags in the world, to sym- } OFFICERS IN PAJAMAS; ‘ Praised for Bravery When They Should Not Have Been Un- eee. Lo xbox Dec. 12 ~The Times in an editorial in unusually heavy type, calls for a prompt, searching ana complete inquiry” respecting “the re- versal of fortune” on the British front during the tremendous struggle on the southern side of the new Cam- bral salient on Nov. 30 and ‘the two} following: days. | “It was ‘perhaps ‘hardly -possifite from day to day,” the Times adds, “and certainly unwise to attempt an authoritative account of the situation as a whole, though we cannot longer be satisfied with the fatuous esti- mates, for example, of the German losses in men and morale which have inspired ‘too many of the published messages.“ After asserting that the new line, as reconstituted, is securely held, the Times continues: The published and censored ver- sion is being amplified daily by in- numerable disquieting first hand ac- counts from officers and men, who participated in the actual fighting. It is highly time that this mass of par- tial information should be placed in its true prospective, blundering sift- ed and blame, if and where due, should take shape in prompt disap- proval of every blunderer.“ The Times forstalls a possible charge that in its article it is in- triguing against Field Marshal Haig by saying: “There is no question whatever of turning a temporary set-back to the detriment of his great ‘position or plans. But it adds: / “His weakness, if it be a weakness, |’ is inveterate devotion to those who have served his longest—some of them perhaps too long, or too long without a rest.“ The newspaper says further that the Germans clearly took advantage of the brilliant success to strike back unexpectedly ata “wholly unready’’’ part of the line and referring to in- dividual deeds of valor in this fight- ing already recorded— Generals fight - ing in pajamas and doctors interrupt ed in dressing stations—says: “They are all magnificent, but should never have occurred.” Agitation Increases for a Supreme Commander of Allied Armies. PARIS, Dec. 12.—The actual par- ticipation of French and British troops with the Italian armies to stem the onrush of the Austro-Ger- man offensive, the relinquishment by the British of a part of their gains at Cambrai, the conviction that the al- lies must prepare to meet and defeat a new great German drive on the western front have given a renewed impetus to the agitation for a su- preme single command of the allied armies. “It is pointed out that the Cambrai offensive was purely British, that there is no evidence of any arrange- pear before ai Bishops, which | behalt of: the Hoare of 8 Sites fore McKenney, Va.

The woman who arranges her fu niture “artistically” did not escape the expert’s comment. Some peo- ple want to zig zag rugs and fur- niture all.over the place. There would be just as much sense in run- ning a narrow strip of carpet diagon- ally across the room. Heavy furni- ture and large rugs must follow the general lines of the room. Don't be afraid of stiffness. Just let the fur- niture act naturally.” “Another common fault is floors that are too Icht. The floor must be the darkest thing in the room. One wants to put his feet on something, solid, instead of floating around a room.“ Turning again to women, Davison said that “good taste has ruined more rooms than ‘anything else. _Decora- tion is neither shopping or good taste —it is art. The decorator’s art is to reach down into the person's soul, get the beautiful things and trans- late them into the colors of the room. All art is the transference of emo- tion. It may be to the canvas, to the page or to the room. “A lot of people take the center of a room as an axis, and range the piano, davenport and chairs around it. If there is a vacancy, they stick in a rubber plant, and call it home. Still they wonder why they have ‘nerves.’” It was here that he quot- ed the lines about the gas logs and the cat.

The German papers also are com- menting on this lack of unity of com- mand among the allies. Der Tag says: “Among our enemies, despite an abundance of talk, there is no sin- cere or profound unity. There are jealousies, desires, ambitions for the day they may have to pay for the aid given by their more powerful allies.” t .

The Belgian family were all herded away in here, as their front rooms were now our exclusive property. I have never quite made out what the fam- ily consisted of, but, approximately I should think, mother and father and 10 children. I am pretty certain about the children, as about half a platoon stood around me while shav- ing, and solemnly watched me with dull brown Flemish eyes. The father kept in the background, resting, I fancy, from his usual day’s work of hiding unattractive turnips in enor- mous numbers, under mounds of mud—(the only form of farming industry which came under my no- tice in Flanders). She Watched the Main Chance. The mother, however, was “all there,“ in more senses than one, She was of about observation balloon proportions, and had an unerring eye forthe main chance. Her telegraph- fe address, I should imagine, was “Fleecem.” She had one sound cora- mercial idea, i. e., “charge as much as you can for everything they want, hide everything they do want, and slowly collect any property, in the Bisque head, 7 eyes thet — oe a 1 * 5 74 1 a iF N bs ; 1 cus ? 35 N sh . tte ee — 4 ö — 1 n eee e000, — —— — es — — — 2 Q— 5 EEC ˙ LB te ODS REE BO, ne * J 7 J - ‘ „ .

Of course, I must say his work was not such as would be classed amongst the skilled or in- tellectual trades; it was, apparently, to pump all the accumulated drainage from a subterranean vault out into the yard in front, about twice a week, the rest of his time being taken up by assisting at the hiding of the turnips. .

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 12.—The raise in the Cleveland rate of street car fare, which {s to be put into ef- fect Friday, will be actually less than one-third of a cent per ride. he new fare schedule provides ‘that the fare, if paid in money, shall be 4 cents, that car tickets shall be sold at three for 10 cents (3 1-3 cents per ride), and that the charge for such transfers as are not free shall pe 1 cent, but that the cent shall be ‘rebated to the passenger when he leaves the car to which he transfers. | Present Fare Schedule. The fare schedule now in opera- tion, under the sliding scale fixed in the franchise ordinance under which the street railway company is op- erating, puts the cash fare at 3 cents, with tickets the same price (five for 15 cents), and a charge of 1 cent each is made for such transfers as are not free, with no rebate. At present, with cash and ticket fare exactly the same, 95 per cent of Cleveland's street car users buy tick- ets, purely as a matter of conven- ‘fence, because the tickets are easier to carry than pennies. It is expect- ed by both city and street railway of- ‘ficials that with an advantage of 2-3 cent in favor of tickets under the ‘new schedule, cash fares will virtual- ly cease to exist. The effect of the change would be to raise the rate of fare from 3 cents to 3 1-3 cents, if transfers were not taken into consideration. But about 36 per cent of the fare-paying passengers riding on the Cleveland street railway lines purchase trans- fers, the other 64 per cent either re- ceiving free transfers or using none. In the year 1916 the Cleveland Street Railway Co. derived an income from the sale of unrebated transfers of $843,926.76. So that the actual rate raise will amount to 1-3 cent, less this amount of money divided by the number of fare-paying passengers carried. In 1916 the number of these was 375,382,748. Will Ask for further Increase. At the office of President John J. Stanley of the Cleveland Street Rail- way Co. it was said today that the company expected the new rate to bring in very little additional rev- , enue, and that the next higher rate of fare set forth in the ordinance would have to be adopted within a ‘month. This rate of fare differs | from the one which is to go into ef- | fect Friday only in that no rebate is | given for pay transfers. It is esti- _ mated that this rate would bring the company $840,000 a year more rev- |}enue than it now is receiving. The | company asked the city for permis- | sion to go to this rate of fare at once, | Jumping over the one to be put into effect Friday, but has not received its consent and will urge the matter | again after Friday's change is made. 5 8388 * Will your boy get a Sweater Coat?

The Americans are in their own uniforms, two still wearing helmets, the otners Evidently they were unwilling to be photographed for not a single raan looks straight at the camera. The Germans, however, crowded forward so as to be sure to get into the pic-, ture. It can be said truthfuliy that the captured appear to greater ad- vantage than the captors. Anyone but a German examiming the picture would unhesitatingly say the Ameri- | cans look like real soldiers, erect and manly, while the Germans are decid- edly a weedy lot. A number of the undersized ones, in particular, is al- most extinguished by his coal scuttie trench helmet. The Germ officors are rather better than their men, excepting one, with exactly the same invisible chin and foxlike nose as the Crown Prince. German newspapers also publish pictures of the parade of the New York National Guard, which are. 80 manipulated as to show gaps be- tween battalions, giving the impres- | sion of a handful of men. The cap- tion informs the German people that | the picture proves that the United States army_is not so large as has been represented. Another picture of President Wilson leading a prepared- ness parade is entitled, The Greatest. of All the War Lords.” It is shown in furtherance of the propaganda that the American President is the only obstacle to peace. The Knights of Columbus have been recognized officially by Gen. Pershing and placed on equal footing with the Red Cross, Young Men's Christian Association and Salvation Army as authorized workers among the soldiers of the American expedi- tionary forces. The organization will start work here immediately, in the meantime perfecting a large organi- zation in the United States. The Knights of Columbus will expend a fund of $7,000,000. Walter Kernan of New York, the head of the Overseas Work, is re- turning to the United States after a month spent on the ground. Kernan has left funds with the Catholic chaplains to start army huts in the training zone. He visited the greater part of the army, especially the na- tional guard, which has many Catho- will send hundreds of priests to France. Twenty-six of these will be accompanied by workers selected by the Knights of Columbus.

PAUL, Minn., Dec. 12.—Just what an Indian will endure despite handicaps of age and infirmities was iNustrated by a letter received by the Associated Press here from Fred A. King, Indian agent at Cass Lake, Minn. Mr. King had been asked to report on the condition of Ga-be- nah-gewn-wonce, 127 years old, and he replied as follows: “T am in receipt of yours relating to the aged Indian known as Ga-be- nah-gewn-wonce, also known as John Smith by those who are unable to pronounce his Indian name. “No events have transpired in his life during the last two years worthy of being added to the sketch written for the Associated Press, except per- haps the fact that shortly after the sketch was prepared he was run over by a switch engine in the Great Northern Raflroad yards. here. He was badly shaken and was picked up and taken to our local hospital for treatment. He refused tc.occupy a bed while in the hospital and, rolling himself up in,a blanket, he laid on the floor during all the two weeks he was in the hospital. “He has not married again, but is still hoping to meet an Indian maid- ‘en who {fs willing to become Mrs.’Ga- be-nah-gewn-wonce.

By J. M. DAIGER, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. : ' ARTICLE 6. NORFOLK, Va., Dec, 12.—*And what is that old tub lying over there, Captain?” “That happens to be a brand-new torpedo-boat destroyer that has just arrived to be manned and put inte immediate service.“ I had been deceived by the naval camouflage—the painting of ships to look at a short distance like what they are not and at a long distance like nothing at all. Wonderful work has been done in disguising and concealing ships at sea, though most people seem to think that camouflage is used only by the army. Impossible as it might seem to make superdreadnaughts appear anything but the monsters that they are, there are nevetheless processes of camotflage for them and the processes for smaller ves- sels are numerous. In naval camouflage the cubists and the futurists and the other ultra moderns have come into their own. Their wildest theories have been found to have a highly practical value. Collier Is Disguised. I saw one of the largest of the navel colliers, which has several times crossed the Atlantic since America's entry into the war, that had a very simple scheme of cam- ouflage in which only grays were used. Simple in conception and ex- ecution, it had an amazing effect on the appearance of the ship at a short distance at.sea, and from what hap- pened at that short distance I have no dopbt that the collfer was lost to the eye when it got not much farther away. The older naval officers. believe } that the regulation navy gray by itself ia better than any camouflage that the artists have invented, and are frankly skeptical about the riots of color and freak designs that the j scientific application of one of the majority of the other army camps throughout the United States, and the average health of the men here is better than most of the camps, Ma- 811125 lei! : fine arte is smearing over their ships. But their natural pride as captains in tue appearance of the vessela under their command and their natural inclination as fighting san to go boldly out to face the en- may account in part for the — that nothing can equal the navy gray. The camouflage used by a great many merchantmen of America and her allies is familiar to everyone who has observed the shipping in the harbors along the Atlantic Coast. These vessels close up look like scrambled rainbows or Iike the pallette of an artist in his cups. The weather has much to do with the Here at “the Capes,“ where the wa- ters of the Atlantic are most treach- erous, where storms are wildest and service, and here are seamen who nine months ago had never in their lives felt the tang of the briny deep in their nostrils. They answered the ved }eall of the Naval Reserve force and as rapidly as the ships could be made ready, the men were sent aboard them. If it happened that many of the men had had no pre- vious course at the St. Helena Train- ing Station, they were put on the ships anyway, for the ships and the men were needed in the Lower Ches- apeake and along the coast at once. There is a common expression, nig generally in thoughtless fun— “I pity the sailors on a night like this.” And here a word to the wom- en at home: Knit as you have not knitted before, and never believe that too much knitting has been done. The Government has supplied the hundreds of men on the patroi boats, the submarine chasers and the mine sweepers with their allot- ment of winter clothing; but no quantity of clothing will ever make the men too warm for such weather ag they must endure, and are cheer- fully enduring. Boat Clubs’ Craft in Use. have estimated the degree of a storm's intensity which each vessel in the district fleet can with- stand. The closest watch is kept on weather conditions, and by telegraph, cable and wireless every squadron is kept informed of developments. There is not a moment of the day or night when men are not engaged in this work. In bad weather storm warnings are sent out constantly, and when the intensity of the storm ap- proaches a vessel's estimated power of resistance the vessel is ordered to put in. Should disaster overtake a ship, the rules in the district office at Nor- folk say that the first consideration must be the war needs of the coun- try. One vessel must not risk dan- ger to save another. The conserva- tion of ships and of men, not the chivalry and the courage and the heroiem of the sea, must guide the decision of those who would save a shipwrecked crew. If the number of lives involved is very great-great enough to justify ‘the risk of a Small- or number of lives—then the rescue may be attempted. But if there is doubt that a rescuing party will it- self return from a perilous journey to save a smal number of lives, then the wartime rule is firm. Boats of every character that could possibly be put to use in the fleet have been commandeered or chartered—on the leasing basis of $1 @® year, and fitted for service. The Bay region have been made into mine sweepers. Early every morning they go out in pairs, sister ships, with their huge “broom” stretched across from one vessel to the other, to make clear the path for the merchantmen and warships that must pass through the capes and out to sea and for those that come in during the day. The patrol is made up of the ships from the 30 coast guard stations in Maryland ang Virginia and of the scores of privately owned craft taken from the boat clubs of ore, PPT In addition are the new submarine chasers, the fastest of all the patrol boats. to an announcement by the Press Bu- reau yesterday.

If @ person has been per- spiring from exercise and sits down and lets the wind blow on bim he soon begins to feel chilly. While he was exercising, his muscles were generating heat. For a muscle gen- erates heat. just as a dynamo gen- erates electricity. By its action, heat is generated, just as by the revolution of the armature of the dynamo electricity ie generated | and, in fact, in a very similar way: not in the way 4 stove generates dynamo generates electricity. If a person perspires when exercising. it is because he generates more heat than is needed to keep the body warm, so it is necessary that the body should be cooled, and perspira- tion is simply the effort ot the body to cool itself off. Bathing the skin with water and allowing the water to evaporate also have the effect of cooling the skin. Now, when the perspiring individual ceases to ex- ercise and sits down, the effect is ing out a light. The extra gonera- tion of heat ceases, so the evapora- tion goes on without any extra heat being produced, because the skin is wet and the clothing con- tains moisture and the evaporation causes a chilling of the body. It takes but a few minutes to produce this result; then in order to warm the body up, the muscles are set into spasmodic contraction, There are shivering and sneezing, which are signs of a kind of general spaem. When one sneezes; he does not sneeze with his nose; but through it. It is the entire body that is exercising. Every muscle contracts. The feet are lifted from the floor. There is a jump of the whole body. It would be quite tmpossible to ho anything steady in your hand when you sneezs; but the motion is par- ticularly a the expiratory muscles. There is a sudden contraction of these muscles, with an explosive et- fort of nature to warm the body up. When you sneese, you say, “Oh! I am taking cold.” That ts a mistake. You have taken cold. Your tem- perature hag been lowered and you already have the cold, and the mus- cular syasm is the effort of nature to cure it. Now if you want to help Nature, the best way is to keep right on exercising. You feel a little st@ver here and there, and you feel chilly. Now set your muscles to work as hard as you can. That is the quickest way to stop the shivering. Certainly one can pre- vent himself from taking cold. One gits in church and a draft blows on the back of his neck. He says: “I am going to get a cold, I shall rave @ stiff neck tomorrow.” You do not need to have a cold.

This is an age of speed and efficiency. All about us we see waste and lost motion eliminated. We are here today and there tomorrow; things that once required several months to reach fru- ition now become ripe in a few minutes. Observe the recent trend in revolutions, From Portugal comes the news that there has been a successful revolt and that a new Government has been firmly established. The day before the old Government was on the job and everything seemed to be serene—that is, as serene as things get in Portugal. Five years ago there would have been months and months of street fighting, claims and coun- ter-claims of victories and defeats, massacres, in- ternational intervention and the rest of the con- comitants of an old-fashioned insurrection. But today there coniés out of the clear sky the an- nouncement: There has been a successful revolu- tion and the new Government is firmly estab- lished.” ! The Bolsheviki uprising was of the same type and the one in China was also a marvel of speed and terseness. The world do move.“ hh he, * THE HEROIO COMMUTER Pity the poor commuter. Now is the winter of his discontent. He leaves his suburban home at break o’ day and hies to the trolley track and waits three hours for the car and gets to the office at noon. He starts hope at night and gets, maybe, as far as East St. Louis. If he fv not particular he stays all night at an East St. Louis hotel. Or he returns to St. Louis. But the commuter does not complain. The commuter never complains. He expects such things. If he does not get bis share of the dis- comforts of suburban trolley service he is un- happy. He feels that he has been cheated. It is for these things that he lives 15, 20 or 25 miles If he was like other men, de- from the office. pendent upon good transportation facilities for enjoyment, he would live in town. This thing of getting home in, say, half an hour, {s all right for those who have not tasted | the joy of spending two and a half hours on the way as a regular thing and putting up in town | for the night when there is a change in the weather.

There are a great many women who | are unhappily married and who have husbands who fall far short of being models of domestic virtue.

The dollar of 1914, he says, is now only worth about 57 cents when it is used for buying the necessities of life. “This means,” observed the ac- countant, “that the war has entered every home in the United States and practically every home in the world. No matter what the sentiments of the household may be, whether they are pro-peace or pro-German—usu- ally the same thing—or just plain American, the household is helping to pay for the war. “The decrease in the dollar, as shown by the charts, is based upon 50 articles of food of all kinds, but does not include sugar, a commodity which, although of importance, is not as significant as others. therefore, is eliminated, its price hav- ing increased to such an extent tha it: would be unfair to compare it with An — —— — — — [44“ü—ääõ — OLLARS BUYING POWER | JUNE Sugar, | — — — — 9 i A * = Orr * + ettentiee ES! we t * 7 * 2 * 2 ; . 27 tA) 1 ay 5 e Er a] „ * 3 1916 28 N the other and more used necessities of life. “While the charts are only based on food, it must be remembered that practically everything. necessary to our existence has increased ‘in price.

Causes for the eret increase are too well known to need mention they are all covered by the one word, war. Interruption of produc- tion, many millions of men taken from peaceful pursuits and placed on the firing line, leaving one or two to do the manufacturing and agricul- tural work formerly done by 10, are real reasons that our dollar has so woefully lost power. “When a proper peace is con- cluded, and only then, can we ex- ipect to see the dollar begin t climb back to its former high stand- ard.
